Upward shifts of mountain vegetation lag behind rates of climate warming, partly related to
interconnected changes belowground. Here, we unravel above-and belowground linkages …

Farmers, so-called the father of land, have a tremendous responsibility to feed the world.
The demand for agricultural yield is constantly surging, and the resources that provide this …

Plastic pollution poses a threat to terrestrial ecosystems, even impacting soils from remote
alpine and arctic areas. Biodegradable plastics are a promising solution to prevent long …

Climate change is strongly affecting high‐mountain soils and warming in particular is
associated with pronounced changes in microbe‐mediated C and N cycling, affecting plant …

Soil microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi play important roles in the biogeochemical
cycling of soil nutrients, because they act as decomposers or are mutualistic or antagonistic …

Understanding microbial network assembly is a promising way to predict potential impacts of
environmental changes on ecosystem functions. Yet, soil microbial network assembly in …

Alpine soils are warming strongly, leading to profound alterations in carbon cycling and
greenhouse gas budgets, mediated via the soil microbiome. To explore microbial responses …

Due to climate warming, alpine ecosystems are changing rapidly. Ongoing upward
migrations of plants and thus an increase of easily decomposable substrates will strongly …

In the last 100 years, climate warming has been affecting the European Alps faster and more
severely than globally observed temperature patterns. Temperature changes are known to …

Roots are assumed to play a major role in structuring soil microbial communities, but most
studies exploring the relationships between microbes and plants at the community level …
